A software localization engineer modifies a program's user interface for a Japanese audience. Which outcome follows if pragmatic equivalence is prioritized over literal accuracy?

💡 Explanation

When prioritizing pragmatic equivalence during localization, the translation focuses on conveying the intent and effect of the original text rather than its literal meaning. This causes a culturally appropriate user experience, because the goal is functionality, therefore the user will interact with the software more naturally rather than being confused by literal translations.
